pickIt felt like a good time to read this book. Few people dedicate their time to study the stolen books in Europe, returning them to the families that remain, of those they once belonged to before the Nazis ripped them away. Book bans are nothing new, but they never lead to anything good. What we are seeing in America right now is a repeat of the not so distant past. Did we learn nothing? Take away books, destroy thinking minds, destroy a people.
When I started looking into the history of these books and went onto the Internet to search for the names I found written inside them, the search results kept indicating Auschwitz. Every time the trail led to Auschwitz. We can‘t give people their lives back, but maybe we can give them something else. A book, and maybe a memory.
I'm posting the #BookScavengerHunt prompts in order & today is 'Art Deco'.
Had this on my TBR list for ages, still not read it.

pickA well written picture book based on WW2. I say roughly suitable for 7 to 9 year olds and though the topic is heavy it isn‘t too explicit about what happened during the holocaust.
A children‘s book, yes. But the first I came across when I was searching Libby for Denmark.
I‘m all out of library books till I go back…..so thought I‘d work on my reading around the world on going challenge.
pickI read this book after I read Newshawks in Berlin. Hitlerland is, of course, Nazi Germany. This book shows us a picture of the rise of Adolph Hitler as seen through the eyes of various Americans living and working in Berlin. Some thought Hitler wasn‘t dangerous and his movement wouldn‘t last, especially after he was arrested and sent to prison. Quite an informative book if history is your interest. Five stars
